Welcome!!! It's QKD's 1 year anniversary and we are celebrating with a blog hop focused on the QKD colours of pink, purple, white and grey. I hope you enjoyed the creations on Bev's blog before you hopped over to me. if you are just starting out hop on over to the QKD blog to start the anniversary goodness. I used a new release for this month for my card- Monarch Mia. Doesn't she look purrdy :) I have had this amazing paper since last Feb but didn't have the right card idea for it till now. Once I heard the challenge of using the QKD colours for the hop I decided it was time to actually cut up this gorgeous paper and make a gorgeous card tee hee! I coloured her with my copics and added a thick glossy accents layer to her tail and also used it to glue the purple glitter on her tail so it would also be poofy. I have copied the hop list below in case you are lost and if you are already well on your way click here to go to Lara's blog which is your next stop.

I just love release days! I am sharing today one of the cool new stamps I get to play with that are being released in November. Today you would have hopped here from Bev's blog or if you need to start at the beginning please click here to start at the QKD main blog.
Today's share is with Monarch Mia and she was really easy and fun to colour. I wanted to play up her tail and make it look like butterfly wings...I was happy with how it turned out! Not sure if you can tell in the pic but I added a thick glaze to her tail and sprinkled in glitter to give it some extra oomph. I am going to see a friend of mine tomorrow who just had a new baby and this card is for her. I used copic markers to colour the image then used some fun paper, die cuts and embellishments that were in the same shades of aqua blue as the paper. I had to use the crystal butterfly too, it just seemed to go with Miss Monarch Mia tee hee.
I also wanted to share that on Nov 19th Queen Kat Designs will be having a birthday bash and will be celebrating with a special blog hop and stamp release on that day woot woot! To tide you over until then our Queen Kitty has a great sale on- Buy 2 stamp sets get 1 separates stamp free ($3.99 or less) or buy 3 separates get 1 free. Schweet!!!

Well I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop. You will be hopping on over to Lara's blog next by clicking here and I have pasted the entire list below in case you get lost along the way. Cheers!! Andi

It's the weekly hop and if you have come here from Bev's blog you are half way through. If you are just starting out click here to start at the beginning, the QKD blog. This week's challenge at QKD was to pull colours from an inspiration photo (see below) and use our QKD stamps to see what we come up with! I went more with the browns, pinks, purples and a splash of blue- just like the pic. I used the just released Guardian of Love with background stamp (you can click on the name to go right to her at the store). I had also been reading on lots of blogs about those of you who stamped and coloured on kraft paper so I thought I'd give it a try. I kind of like the cool look it gives to the image. My only regret is that I saw most of you do it as a no layer card- stamping right on the kraft paper and colouring. I wanted to do that too but I got really ambitious and added lots of sparkle glue and it made my paper buckle and look soggy. So for a no layer card- I don't recommend liquid glue, glitter or sparkle- it takes away from the clean look. Instead of tossing the card out I wanted to make the most of the cool image and the effect of colouring on that paper so I cut it out and used some funky paper to help bring more browns into the photo. I also kept to the kraft card base to bring it all together- hope you like how it turned out! I think the Guardian looks sooo serene on this card and I have to say she is a really sweet stamp to play with and so versatile.
Now head on over to Lara's blog to continue along and I have included the whole blog hop under the inspiration pic in case you get lost :)
